If the parties fail to agree, then, at either party's request, the parties shall engage an independent testing laboratory or other appropriately qualified expert mutually agreeable to the parties to analyze samples to determine whether the rejected Product or Raw Material is Nonconforming.

Both parties shall cooperate with the independent laboratory's or expert's reasonable requests for assistance in connection with its analysis. Both parties shall be bound by the laboratory or expert's conclusions, which, absent manifest error, shall be deemed final as to any dispute over Nonconformity. The costs incurred by the laboratory or expert shall be borne by each party to the extent that party caused the Nonconformity, or, if the laboratory or expert cannot allocate responsibility for the Nonconformity then the parties shall share equally the expenses in connection with such laboratory or expert.

In the event of a Nonconforming Product or Raw Material, Supplier shall implement a corrective action subject to approval by Donnelley Financial, which shall not be withheld unreasonably, and the approval of any pertinent governing authority.

At Donnelley Financial's option, any Nonconforming Product or Raw Material may be returned to Supplier within a reasonable period of time or disposed of, and Supplier shall refund (or provide Donnelley Financial with a credit) payments made by Donnelley Financial for any Nonconforming Product or Raw Material and Donnelley Financial's reasonable costs including but not limited to storage, inspection, testing, transportation and disposition.
